Nvidias 9800GX2's PSU requirements are:

Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amp Amps.)

And finding a PSU with a current rating of 26 amp on a single railing is a hell.

So I was wondering if the Thermaltake toughpower 750w is enough?
+3.3V 30.0A,+5V 28.0A,+12V1 18.0A,+12V2 18.0A, +12V3 18.0A, +12V4 18.0A-12V 0.8A,+5Vsb 3.0A.

As the 9800GX2 has 2 plugs (6 pin, 8 pin) shouldnt the power be drawn from 2 +12 volt railings which would equal 26 ampere current raiting?

thanks.

My PSU has two 12V rails with 16A each and it runs 8800GTX nicely. So i guess you'll be alright. :)
